Two generations of military wives compete for time

Chapter 157 Help Qian Yiyun overcome sadness

"We are willing, Mr. Qian, please be clear," said Li Qingquan, the leading villager from Lijia Village.

"I asked someone to take a look at the hillside land next to Daoguan Village in Lijia Village. It is very suitable for building schools, including kindergartens, primary schools and junior high schools. When the time comes, all the children in Lijia Village will go to school for free. In the future, we will also build a power plant, and the villagers of Lijia Village can use free electricity and free heating. Do you understand what I mean?" Qian Yizheng talked freely.

After listening to Qian Yizhen's speech, the five village representatives of Lijia Village were shocked, then surprised, and finally silent. The leading villager Li Qingquan stood up and said, "Mr. Qian, I'm sorry, we were reckless. Please forgive us. Please show some mercy and recruit young men and women from Lijia Village to work in your textile factory. We will go to the police station to explain the bad things done by Li Dazhuang, Li Guangfa, Li Ershun, Sun Erhu, Li Dacheng, Zhang Fengshou and others."

After seeing off the villagers of Lijia Village, Qian Yizhen returned to the general manager's office, made himself a cup of tea, and calmed himself down before calling Han Shiyan in Hong Kong: "Shiyan? This is Qian Yizhen. Is it convenient for me to talk now?"

"Sister Yizhen, please tell me. I am discussing with Li Baoguo how to persuade Uncle Kuang Xi to return to the Northern Province to visit Grandpa Kuang and Grandma Huang."

"The main construction of the resort hotel will be completed and accepted in two months. We need you to come back to do some preparatory work and the later decoration design work. When will you come back?"

"Sister Yizhen, we already have a plan for the later design and decoration of the resort hotel, and we have prepared plans for every process. There will be no problem."

"Sister Yizhen, Li Baoguo and I thought that after we have done a good job of convincing Uncle Kuangxi to agree to go back to his hometown, we will go back to his hometown in the capital of Northern Province with him. But now it seems that we have to wait, because we must get Uncle Kuangxi's consent and apply to the Hong Kong Immigration Department before we can go through the relevant procedures to return to the mainland and buy plane tickets."

"Shiyan, don't be too anxious. If Uncle Kuangxi really doesn't want to come back, don't force him. Let him digest it slowly and make a decision slowly. You still have to focus on your career."

"Sister Yizhen, I have good news for you. Li Baoguo and I are going to register our marriage in Hong Kong."

"Congratulations, you have finally achieved your goal. Have you told your mother the good news? The sooner the better, so she can be very happy."

"Not yet. My mother is a workaholic and very busy. I, her own daughter, need to make an appointment in advance to see her. I am thinking about mobilizing my mother to do ideological work on Uncle Kuangxi. Sister Yizhen, do you think it will work?"

"Shiyan, this is a good idea. Cousin Chen Mengwei and Uncle Kuangxi are of the same age, so they should be able to communicate better. Go and give it a try, and tell your mother about your happy event."

Qian Yizheng hung up the phone, looked at the time, and asked the driver Xiao Sun to drive to Lijia Village to pick up Qian Yiyun.

After having dinner in the cafeteria, Qian Yizhen and Qian Yiyun took a walk along the newly built road leading to the resort hotel. The red sunset was still shining on the top of the mountain. There were few pedestrians and vehicles on the wide road. The autumn breeze blew gently, and they immediately felt much more refreshed physically and mentally.

"How has Yiyun been doing in Qian Zuhui's home in Lijia Village these past two days? Has she recalled many childhood memories? We two sisters have worked hard to get rid of poverty step by step. Don't you feel a sense of accomplishment? When I see those village girls who are still struggling in poverty like we did when we were children, I have an urge to help them."

"Sister, you are my role model. I have been with my father and brother Zuhui these two days, helping them cook, wash clothes, and clean. I have also visited my mother's grave and strolled along the road I took every day to go to school in Lijia Village when I was a child. I have thought a lot, especially about myself. My ability to withstand setbacks is too poor. I must make myself strong. I must be strong for Maomao."

"Yiyun, that's right. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, I will always be your strong supporter."

"Yiyun, have you ever thought about what changes will happen on both sides of this road in ten years?"

Qian Yiyun shook his head: "I can't imagine what will change. Now there are wastelands, hillsides, and sparse mountain forests on both sides of the road. What changes can there be?"

"Yiyun, think about it, ten years later, when the resort hotel and Huaguoshan scenic area are completed and put into use, will there be more tourists? On the hillside at the junction of Lijia Village and Daoguan Village, the Dream Come True Textile Co., Ltd. plans to take out a certain proportion of its annual after-tax profits to build high-standard kindergartens, primary schools, and middle schools for the children of employees.

Ten or twenty years from now, residential areas, commercial service areas, and shops along the road will be scattered on both sides, creating a prosperous scene. Maybe the Pingzhou County Government will also move here. Do you believe it? Let's make a bet, hahaha."

"Sister, is this true? I believe it. I understand what you mean. I will try my best to adjust myself and not hold you back."

Qian Yizhen and Qian Yiyun returned to the talent apartment, took a hot bath, drank a cup of warm water, lay on the bed, relaxed their bodies, and slept soundly and beautifully until dawn.

"Yiyun, let's go back to Chen's house in the provincial capital at 4 o'clock this afternoon. I have a few things to deal with at Dream Come True Textile Co., Ltd. this morning. I suggest you go to the Ancient Taoist Temple to talk to Taoist Priest Yuan Yanqin, and try to sit cross-legged in her meditation room with your eyes closed. You will have an indescribable sense of tranquility."

Qian Yizhen and Qian Yiyun returned to Chen's house. Qian Yiyun hugged her son and kissed him again and again happily: "Maomao, do you miss your mother? I'm sorry for you. I ruined your breast milk. I was wrong and I will definitely correct it."

Grandma Chen Yalu saw Qian Yiyun, who had regained her vitality, and said with great satisfaction: "Yiyun, life is a process of experiencing ups and downs, separations and deaths. No one can escape it. Therefore, we must learn to face it calmly. Sadness cannot solve any problems. We must know when to stop, learn to be strong, forge ahead, and make our lives full and interesting."

Yiyun held her son Maomao and leaned on her grandmother Chen Yalu: "Thanks to the great help from grandma, grandpa, and sister, I was able to get through this difficult time. Grandma, please rest assured that I will not be defeated."

Grandma Chen Yalu said: "Yiyun, remember, in our Chen family, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. Your family members from your mother's side will always be your strong backing. There will always be a place for you in your grandma and grandpa's house."

Qian Yiyun said, "Grandma, I understand what you mean. The four of us, my brothers and sisters, and our mother, have been able to live a life of ease and comfort thanks to your and Grandpa's love and support. Even now, you are still taking care of your fourth generation of descendants. I am ashamed of myself. I must learn from you."

"Grandma, do you smell anything? It stinks.", "Yiyun, it must be Maomao who pooped. Come and have a look."

"You naughty boy, you pooped without even telling your mom." "Yiyun, don't worry. By this time next year, your son will be able to learn to talk. He will keep asking why and why, and he will talk all the time. By then, you might get impatient. Hahaha." Grandma Chen Yalu said as she and Qian Yiyun cleaned Maomao's stinky poop.
